Brownfields Revitalization Air Quality Smart Growth Water Quality Local Innovation
 Smart Growth

Projects
  • Clean Air Communities
    This NALGEP project, funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Air and Radiation, convened local government environmental officials to identify tools and incentives needed by local communities to meet national air quality objectives.
  • Community Revitalization Research Initiative
    Under this cooperative agreement NALGEP worked to research barriers to revitalization, organized and led an expert Advisory Committee on revitalization, and conducted nine Community Revitalization Roundtables. US EPA awarded this cooperative agreement to NALGEP in August 2002.
  • Smart Growth for Clean Water
    NALGEP is partnering with the Trust for Public Land and the Eastern Research Group to help states and localities use land conservation, watershed management, brownfields redevelopment, and other smart growth tools as key strategies for achieving water quality goals.
